Power App – Magix Samplitude Pro X

OBJECTIVE
Identify sections of audio with similar
characteristics when you need to perform
multiple edits

BACKGROUND
The Comparisonics “audio search” feature
makes it easy to find similar pieces of audio in
a file. In this example, a drum part’s cymbal
was miked too closely and is too loud, so the
goal is to find each cymbal crash instance and
lower its level.

If the file is in a Virtual Project, hold Shift,
then double-click on the object. This opens the
file as an HD wave project. You can also type
W, then simply load a file.

TIPS

Step 5: If this file came from a
Virtual Project and you want it to
end up in the same VIP, select the
file’s entire range, copy it, then
paste it back into the VIP.

Step 1 Select the range with the sound you want to find elsewhere in the file, then type C to copy it to the clipboard.

Step 2 From the Object menu, choose Comparisonics Audio Search.

Step 3
Adjust the sensitivity. Higher sensitivities will find more matches,
but overly high settings can give false positives. Sections that match
the audio are indicated with Match labels just above the timeline.
